Welcome

Welcome to the international Smart City Event in Tampere, Finland. The event is organized as a part of the annual, international Mindtrek conference and will be continuing the discussions that started in the Smart City Seminar 2015 in Oulu. The prior seminar in Oulu brought together around 300 like-minded people interested in smarter cities, and with the addition of the 20th international Mindtrek conference, also held in the same venue this year, we are expecting the total number of participants to climb closer to 1000 people in three days.

Smart City event 2016 will take place at Tampere Hall on 17th till 19th of October, 2016.

Smart City Event

Smart City Event is focused on intelligent community development and smart market creation. Topics that will be discussed include smart city, future healthcare, digitalization, internet of things, open data, open innovation platforms, co-creation and open participation.

Smart City Event and Mindtrek 2016 together give an unique perspective for the future and bring together people from all aspects of life to discuss these topics. Smart City Event 2016 will bring together the decision-makers of the public sector to promote and discuss future possibilities of smarter cities and smarter management.

What It's All About...

The target audience for the Smart City Event are people interested in figuring out how to make cities better places to live and to do business in. The event will have a multitude of discussion forums, workshops and inspiring speeches concentrating on themes like Smart Mobility, Circular Economy in Cities and Future Health. Smart City Event and Mindtrek bring together a unique blend of visitors from the public sector and tech companies. This blend creates new possibilities to move forward with ideas and plans for the future development of smarter cities and how to manage them effectively. It's all about lessons learnt and best practices!

Neil Harbisson is the co-founder of the Cyborg Foundation, an organization that promotes the use of cybernetics as a body part to extend human senses and perception. Harbisson has an antenna implanted in his skull that allows him to perceive colors that are outside human vision such as infrareds and ultraviolets.

This talk will explore how taking an active part in our own biological evolution is no longer a theory, but an option. Becoming technology, instead of using or wearing technology, opens up the possibility of having additional organs and senses beyond the ones confined to our species. By merging ourselves with technology we can become the designers of our own body and perception; and we can increase our survival possibilities in earth and in outer space. Are we witnessing the renaissance of our species?

With technology such as the SpaceX programme and the aim to land a man on Mars all happening at the same time, we are in fact still way behind in health care. With over 285 million people around the world suffering from visual impairment and 90% of them being preventable, achieving the goals of Vision 2020 to halve all preventable blindness by 2020 is far from reach. Dr. Hong, the founder of oDocs Eye Care will share his story and experience in how he and his social enterprise take on the challenge. Lumping together innovation, smartphone and open-source might not be a bad idea after all.

About

Sharing economy and collaborative consumption are increasingly topical issues in terms of customer behavior, business models, and the economic logics at large. Powered by the digital technology and internet they often promise to provide socially, environmentally and/or economically more sound and sustainable solutions than prevailing economic model does.

Sharing economy’s ideas and practices are very relevant for the cities as public service providers and as urban communities in general. In this session real-life services implementing the ideas of the sharing economy are introduced and their future potential and challenges, especially in the context of cities, are discussed.

As it is completed, the Rantatunneli tunnel will free up a large swath of central Tampere's northern areas for the use of residents, while also providing easier access to the shoreline of Lake Näsijärvi. Rock material generated during the tunnel excavation has been used to fill in the water body for the park being created in the new Ranta-Tampella district." - Rantatunneli Alliance
